Oh, all these minutes passing, sick of feeling used

If you wanna break these walls down, you're gonna get bruised

Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it

Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it

-Castle

"What happened here, will go with us to our graves . Even a word about it is out and you are dead." Zayn said,his voice cold and brutal.

Louis and Liam nodded their heads ,before trying to swiftly walk out of the apartment. Still shocked and in awe with what happened earlier.

"Louis "

Footsteps came to an halt automatically before turning back to Zayn.

"Go and tell others that I won't join them for dinner today. That I am busy with some work. You can have your dinner and go to your room. Make sure to remind the guards that no one is allowed on my floor at night. I'll talk with father if he calls,but if he doesn't stay quiet and tell other to do the same. " Zayn said and Louis nodded his head .

Once Louis is outside the door,Zayn locks it properly before returning to his room. He tries to work on his paper work but it's not happening . He can't concentrate on anything except the little human that is laying on his bed. Breathing and alive. He has done something that is surely stupid and will lead to his doom. But for some suprising reasons. He isn't worried. He isn't afraid . He doesn't regret it and the small puff of breath,escaping the parted lips somehow warm his frozen heart.

He paces around the room , until the first bag is empty, connecting the second one immediately as Liam had taught him. The human was too malnourished and even if he would survive,he still needs to get his strength back.

His eyes then catch the blood stained shirt ,Harry is wearing.

Harry

Harreh

That's what his name is according to Louis. He was sent from America,few years back at the age of 3 .There isn't much information about him in the records. But he had already asked Louis to dig deeper and erase all the records about Harry until further notice. Everyone knew about him, they would soon start digging in everything about him.

He goes to his closet and gets a new shirt . But realises he can't change Harry's shirt due to the needle in the back of Harry's hand. He tries to do his work again , but his mind is clouded by worry. Something he hasn't felt in decades. He doesn't know if he should be happy or sad . He finally calms down after Harry's heart finally starts beating normally again. He sighs in relief as he can see the small blush returning to Harry's cheeks. He will survive. He waits until the second bag is empty. Before taking the needle out of Harry 's hands and placing a small bandage on it. Every action so gentle as his he is treating a new born baby.

He holds the tiny fragile palm in his both the ends. Something like adoration blooming in his chest. Harry is so small. He is so fragile. So human. Everything that Zayn should hate. But he can't. Instead, he likes it . The softness of those small palms and curves of his fingers.

He gets a wet towel and starts cleaning Harry's neck when he realizes that Harry is shivering. He curses himself for using the cold water to wet the towel . Being a Vampire meant the cold water never effected him. He immediately pulls the towel away. Trying to move to the bathroom to get a warm one this time.Harry whimpers in his sleep suddenly, his peaceful face turning into a frown. Harry's hands move on their own as they get a hold on Zayn's black shirt . Not letting him go. Fisting it tightly in both of his hands . Zayn just freezes at his spot not knowing what to do ,until Harry whimpers again. This time his body twisting towards Zayn. Asking for warmth and comfort that Zayn doesn't think he can offer.

"Shh..hey...it's okay,Harreh." Zayn whispers softly to his own suprise to the troubled boy who pulls at Zayn's shirt;seeking warmth. His hands moves to the boy's hair, thumbs pressing on his forehead caressing the frown away.But Harry again pulls at Zayn's shirt. His hands having close to no force or power in them.Once Zayn realizes what Harry wants, he slowly lays beside Harry pulling Harry on top of himself. Harry curls himself on Zayn, his hands still fisting Zayn's shirt. His cheek pressed over Zayn's heart and legs bracketing his hips. Zayn sighs, pulling the blanket over them both. He doesn't want to admit it but this position calms him down too. He doesn't remember the time when he slept with anyone like this.

He looks at the small mortal curled in his arms , as his hands unconsciously tread through Harry's curls. He wants to protect this delicate flower. And he will ,no matter what. Even though he will have to fight his father .

When Harry woke up , he was lying alone in the middle of the bed , covered in warm blankets. Wearing clean clothes and feeling better.Harry sighed a little ,he was warm,he was comfortable. He was half asleep ,but didn't wanted to wake up cause this is good. He can just stay here forever. Harry was about to Fall asleep again ,When Zayn's voice drifted above him .

"Harreh."

And that's it. Harry bounced up in a sitting position like a spring. Immediately whimpering and Holding his head ,when he felt the sharp pain in his head. The memories coming back to him. He is dead. So dead. He screamed on a Vampire ,got beaten to death and then.....well then it's all just a blur.

"Harreh ?" Zayn tried again. Feeling guilty for startling the human. Sitting on the corner of the bed ,while Harry sat in the middle of it. Harry opened his eyes ,looking at Zayn with wide eyes . Before he immediately started scrambling on the bed ,trying to get on his knees. There was a Vampire in front of him, a powerful one at that. He could feel his aura. The dominance and surprisingly warmness.

But there were 2 heavy blankets on him ,and he just got stuck in them. Even though he was tangled up in the blankets,Harry didn't stopped moving. When Zayn realised what he was upto ,he said ,

"Harreh. "

But Harry just kept on trying . It was cute really. A small wild puppy trying to untangle himself from blankets. But he was weak. And he could get hurt.

"Harreh ,Stop." Zayn's soft voice changed into the icy cold one. It was strict and held so much power that Harry froze and immediately started shaking. Zayn wasn't used to being soft , specially when someone disobeyed him.Zayn lifted his hand ,to untangle Harry from the blankets but Harry flinched and moved back a little .Zayn sighed ."I won't hurt you,okay ? I'm just going to help you out of these blankets. " Zayn softly said ,waiting for Harry to give him a answer.

"Look up." Zayn ordered and Harry hesitantly looked up at him. Zayn again lost his breath for a second . As Harry stared at Zayn with his big green eyes,Harry looked beautiful,fragile,Delicate, He was wearing a big blue hoodie which complimented his pale skin. Last night Zayn had changed Harry in more comfortable clothes to keep him warm and removed his collar .The big brown , blankets had drowned Harry in themselves, they were concealing Half of Harry's Body. He looked like a small puppy ,stuck . So cute and squishy. A puppy that needed love and care.

Zayn placed his hand on Harry's mop of curls , trying to tame then a little . They were poking in every direction from his head ,but that just made Harry look more adorable.Zayn softly threaded his fingers ,in the curls . Scratching his head a little. Harry had to close his eyes. It felt good. He didn't want to admit it , but he felt safe. He had a headache and Zayn's hand felt heavy on his head. But a good heavy , it felt nice. He wanted to run away. But he didn't. Couldn't. Maybe this was one of those Vampires trick or magic but whatever it was Harry no longer cared.

"Are you hungry ?" Zayn asked as he carefully removed the blankets from Harry . He pulled Harry closer to him, so Harry was leaning on his side. Harry was still weak . He was soft ,and delicate . Docile and pliant. Letting himself being moved as a pleasant haze filled his head instead of a headache.

Harry gave a small nod automatically without any thought. Harry liked the warmth that Zayn radiated ,the support that he gave and the way his fingers were massaging his scalp. It was all so good.

Zayn took his phone from the nightstand with one hand , texting Louis to bring his breakfast and Liam with him to the Apartment. Zayn could see the way, Harry's eyes got droopy and his head rested on his shoulder, his fingers loosely fisting Zayn's shirt for support.

They both just sat there for 15 minutes , Harry small body curled up on Zayn's Lap. Zayn had taken hold on One of Harry's small hands. They were so small, it almost fascinated him. He hasn't been around children since forever and even when Harry was almost 9 years old ,he could be mistaken for a 5 years old. His nails were so tiny.

Harry almost fell asleep again ,so when there was a knock on the door , he got startled . But Zayn gave his hand a soft squeeze as he made Harry comfortable on bed again. So Harry's back to rested on headboard. And the Blankets were on him. Tucking in him tight. Harry tried to pull Zayn closer, hold on to him but with his fuzzy head there was not much he could do except whimper as Zayn tucked him in. Zayn shushed him with a small ruffle of his hair.

He opened the door a little and exited the room. Louis was standing there with the trolley full of food and glass of blood. Liam beside him.

" Cancel all my meetings today. I'm not working. I want the lunch and dinner delivered in my room too , and make sure no one disturbs me. No one is allowed on to know that I am here.Understood ?" Zayn said to Louis taking the glass of blood and drinking it.

Louis gave a nod ,"Yes ,but-" Louis's voice was cut short by a sharp glare. Okay then. Louis was on his own. Zayn narrowed his eyes on Liam.

"He becomes pliant easily just by my touch,his heartbeat is normal and breathing fine. Check him up ."

Once Zayn entered the room , he saw Harry sitting down on the floor on his knees. Harry was looking down at the floor with his hands behind his back.

"What are you doing?" Zayn immediately approached Harry and easily lifted him up ,placing him on the bed. Frowning mentally at how light Harry weighted. He should have noticed it tomorrow but he didn't due to all his anger and worry.

"Answer me." Zayn used his strict voice. He can't understand what was going inside Harry's mind. Not yet .

"I-I 'm supposed to sit on the floor. The bed is for master." Harry replied.

Zayn didn't said anything, he didn't know how to answer that. It was weird for himself too , he never let any of his pets on his bed, hell, he never let his slaves in his room. And he had a lot of pets. But then again,none of his pets were Harry. No ,none of them were Harry and none of them will ever be.

"You can sit on the bed. " Zayn said softly as he tucked Harry back in , Harry going easily with every move. "Someone is going to check on you ,so stay still and behave." Zayn whispered, Harry's doe like eyes widened with fear , but he couldn't help but just nod.

As soon as Zayn got up , Harry took a hold on his wrist, it was an involuntary action , something Harry didn't even notice until Zayn was looking at Him .

"Please." Harry didn't know what he was doing,what he was asking for. But apparently Zayn did. So he sat beside Harry on the bed . Signalling Liam to do his work.

Harry started shaking as soon as Liam got closer ,his grip on Zayn's wrist tightening. "Hey" Zayn mummered as he softly guided Harry small head to his chest,"Don't worry. I'm here."

Harry visibly relaxed within seconds. His body limp on Zayn's chest. Liam did his checkup as much as he could with Harry on Zayn's Lap.

It was enough time for Little Harry to slip in deep slumber again. Feeling safe and peaceful between a Vampire's arms.
